Abstract
Stochastic optimization of semimartingales which permit a dynamic description, like a stochastic differential equation, leads normally to dynamic programming procedures. The resulting Bellman equation is often of a very genera! nature, and analytically hard to solve. The models in the present paper are formulated in terms of the relative change, and the optimality criterion is to maximize the expected rate of growth. We show how this can be done in a simple way, where we avoid using the Bellman equation. An application is indicated.
